Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

He Yuzhu returned to the office, explained something to Lao Qian, then picked up his small bag and went out.

It was not yet ten o'clock. Thinking that Zhu's father was from northern Anhui and loved to eat oil tea, he often talked about it. Unfortunately, it was not sold in Kyoto. So He Yuzhu prepared to give him a surprise. He went to Dongdan Vegetable Market and bought some thousand sheets, gluten, sesame seeds, etc., which are all ingredients for making oil tea.

After coming out of the vegetable market, he went straight to the Medical Research Institute. As soon as He Yuzhu arrived at the gate, he saw Zhu Lin walking out of the laboratory building.

"Linlin~"

Zhu Lin trotted to the front door, her pretty face flushed, "You're so fast!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "We're going to meet the parents soon, so we have to be more active!"

"Haha~"

Zhu Lin shyly hit He Yuzhu, then got on her bike and left.

At this time, the old man who was guarding the gate poked his head out of the guard room and looked at the two people who disappeared. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Alas, the little flowers in our yard have finally been picked by someone. Hehe, I guess many male comrades will have trouble sleeping~"

He Yuzhu drove Zhu Lin to the Xidan vegetable market again, bought fish, meat and a few pounds of vegetables, and then started walking home.

As he was about to reach his home, He Yuzhu became nervous again.

"I'm a little nervous!"

Zhu Lin chuckled and joked, "Are you worried that my parents won't like you?"

"That's not it!"

"It's broken~"

Zhu Lin was startled: "What's wrong?"

He Yuzhu adjusted his breathing and said, "I, I forgot to buy a gift~"

Seeing that He Yuzhu couldn't even speak clearly, Zhu Lin felt both distressed and touched.

"It doesn't matter, my parents don't care about these!"

"That won't do. How can you come to my house empty-handed for the first time?" He Yuzhu handed the vegetable basket to Zhu Lin, then hurried downstairs, shouting as he ran, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

"Slow down~" Zhu Lin shouted as she climbed onto the stair railing.

"understood!"

This is the living area. There is a supply and marketing point, but there is nothing decent inside. He Yuzhu randomly picked up two boxes of fruit cakes, two kilograms of sugar, two canned food and two bottles of Xifeng wine. Good things come in pairs.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back with a bunch of stuff, Zhu Lin laughed and said, "Is it necessary to buy so many things?"

"Of course it's necessary. I still think this is not enough!" He Yuzhu calmed down and said, "Open the door!"

Zhu Lin smiled evilly and said, "Are you confident now?"

"That's right, if you have food in your hands, you won't be worried!"

"Hee hee~"

With a "creak", the door opened, and the first thing that came into view was a few slightly surprised faces, because there were three middle-aged men sitting in the living room at this time. They all looked at He Yuzhu and smiled intriguingly.

Zhu Lin didn't expect that there would be guests at home. She asked in surprise: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Gao, why are you here?"

"What? You're not welcome~" the middle-aged man surnamed Xu joked, and then he stared at He Yuzhu and said, "Young man, you're really energetic!"

"Hehe~"

He Yuzhu secretly changed into a Zhongshan suit in the factory and looked really energetic.

"Hello uncle! My name is He Yuzhu, and I'm Zhu Lin's boyfriend!"

"Old Zhu, you found a good son-in-law!" the middle-aged man surnamed Gao joked.

"Haha~" Father Zhu didn't comment. He looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "I heard from Linlin that you can cook. I'm going to trouble you today!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" He Yuzhu quickly followed up and said, "Uncle, you guys chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up!"

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen. There was nothing he could do. The pressure was just too great. None of the words he had prepared came in handy. He just stood there awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You're quite shy!" Uncle Xu teased.

"Our Linlin has good taste!" Uncle Gao also laughed.

"What are you talking about~" Zhu Lin blushed: "I'm not going to talk to you~"

After saying that, she ran into the kitchen.

"Haha~"

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was a little absent-minded because he saw a hint of worry in Zhu's father's eyes. No, to be exact, it was resistance. Yes, he didn't like him, but he was embarrassed to show it in front of his friends. Could it be because of my background?

Come to think of it, they are intellectuals, and intellectuals of good family background, so it is normal for them to have high standards. But you should not look down on us, the working class!

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Lin gently pushed He Yuzhu, bringing him back to reality from his fantasy.

The girl's smile was heart-wrenching, and He Yuzhu really didn't want to lose her.

Alas, it is too early to draw conclusions now. Let’s wait and see until we have a formal conversation. If the two elders really don’t think highly of me,

I've already made it, you can do whatever you want~

"Nothing!" He Yuzhu said perfunctorily: "By the way, when does your mother get off work?"

Zhu Lin stared at He Yuzhu for a few seconds, and seeing that he was fine, she felt relieved. She looked at her watch and found that it was already 11 o'clock.

"It should be soon!"

Just as I finished speaking, I heard Mother Zhu's voice coming from the living room.

"Old Xu, Old Gao, why are you here?" Mother Zhu continued to smile and said, "Don't leave at noon, accompany Old Zhu to have a few drinks!"

"That's for sure~"

"My mom is back~" Zhu Lin said in surprise. She jumped out in two steps, "Mom, you're off work~"

Seeing her daughter coming out of the kitchen, Mother Zhu was very puzzled: "Linlin, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Of course it's cooking, hehe~"

"Ha, you can cook. It's like the sun rising from the west." Mother Zhu had a look of disbelief on her face.

"I can't do it, but there are people who can~" Zhu Lin said cutely.

"Who? It can't be--" Mother Zhu thought of something and hurried to the kitchen door, just bumping into He Yuzhu.

"Auntie, hello!"

"Hello!" Mother Zhu was a little dazed. It was so sudden.

"Auntie, please take a rest first, the food will be ready soon!" He Yuzhu said calmly.

"Oh, okay, okay!" Mother Zhu turned around slowly. She looked at her daughter, then looked at the kitchen, and understood everything.

It's really hard to keep a girl when she grows up. She has learned to act first and ask for permission later!

"You silly girl, you didn't even tell me in advance, leaving me completely unprepared!" Mother Zhu tapped Zhu Lin's forehead and complained.

"I want to give you a surprise!"

surprise?

I think it's more like being scared.

Mother Zhu glanced at He Yuzhu and thought, not bad, tall and manly. Although he is not good-looking, he looks sunny and energetic, which is how young people should be.

An hour later, He Yuzhu had prepared six dishes and a pot of soup. The soup was the oil tea that Zhu's father liked to eat. There was no rice or steamed buns today, but lard sesame cakes (bought). Everything was done to cater to Zhu's father's taste, because he was the eldest today!

Everyone looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help but praise He Yuzhu's cooking skills, which made Zhu Lin very proud.

"It's really good, even better than what's cooked in big restaurants. Young man, where did you learn this skill?" Uncle Xu asked curiously.

"I won't hide it from you. My ancestors were cooks. The cuisine of the Tan family was handed down from generation to generation. Later, I learned Sichuan cuisine and Shandong cuisine from my master. In fact, my level is also very average, haha~"

"You think this is average?" Uncle Gao said enviously, "If all the chefs in our cafeteria were as average as you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"

"Haha~"

Everyone felt the same way and burst into laughter.

He Yuzhu stood up and filled everyone's glasses with wine, then said to Father Zhu: "Uncle, today is your birthday. I wish you good health and eternal youth!"

"well!"

Father Zhu drank a cup with He Yuzhu, then said with a smile: "The oil tea you made today is very good. It reminds me of my youth. It still tastes the same as I remember. It's really hard for you!"

"If you like, I'll do it for you every day!"

"Haha~" Father Zhu smiled, "I heard from Linlin that you work in a steel mill?"

Here it comes, here it comes, finally we are getting to the point,

"Yes, I work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I am now the canteen director. After the policy adjustment, my administrative level is deputy director level, and my monthly salary is 76.5 yuan!"

"Wow, it's taller than me!" Uncle Xu said in surprise.

"That's incomparable!" He Yuzhu said with a smile: "You are a great professor, the subsidy alone exceeds your salary!"

"I understand it very well!"

"Haha, it's all hearsay, please don't mind~" He Yuzhu felt sweat on his forehead. It is very rude to expose someone's salary in this era, not to mention that it is a top professor. After all, some things are not something that everyone can ask, such as Mr. Qian~

Seeing that He Yuzhu was a little nervous, Mother Zhu glared at Uncle Xu and said, "It's not a secret. Look how scared the child is. Yuzhu, don't be afraid!"

He Yuzhu was very touched, Mom, you are so good to me!

"Come and eat, let's ignore them!" It is said that the more a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Now Mother Zhu is a typical example. She kept putting food into He Yuzhu's bowl.

"How many people are there in your family?" Mother Zhu asked casually.

"My mother passed away early. My father was also a chef. However, when I was a teenager, he found another girlfriend and left with her. He never came back! I raised my sister by myself and paid for her schooling. Now she is married and her life is pretty good!"

poor child!

Mother Zhu said distressedly: "Then you must have suffered a lot!"

"I didn't feel it was that hard, because I was the mainstay of the family. At that time, I had only one belief: even if the sky fell, I couldn't let this family break up, otherwise I would really become a wild child. But fortunately, my father left us two rooms before he left. We were protected from the rain and wind, but sometimes we went hungry. Haha, fortunately, everything is over!"

He Yuzhu said it very easily, but everyone was very moved, especially the sentence, "Even if the sky falls, the family cannot be broken up." Everyone wanted to cry when they heard it. It is hard to imagine how the two brothers and sisters survived under such difficult conditions!

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressing, and Zhu Lin was about to cry. Even though she already knew everything, she still couldn't help feeling distressed because this man had suffered so much.

“Being a chef must be very hard!”

Father Zhu broke the silence with a soft voice. At this time, he had already recognized He Yuzhu, because when judging a person, one cannot just look at the appearance, character is also very important. He did not understand him before, so he was worried. Now he understands that He Yuzhu raised his sister under such difficult circumstances. How admirable.

"It's OK. Our factory has an 8:30 a.m. morning shift and the work is not tiring. Before I became the canteen director, I was very free. I was not usually needed for cooking. I only had work to do when there were important receptions and the leaders gave me the order!"

"That's really relaxing!" Uncle Xu said with a smile, "What do you do in your spare time?"

"Read a book, practice calligraphy or something like that. I can't sit still!"

"Reading books and practicing calligraphy?" Mother Zhu was shocked. "What is your education level?"

"It's considered a junior high school, but I've learned a lot from accompanying my sister in her studies over the years. It can be considered a blessing in disguise, haha!" After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at Mother Zhu nervously, fearing that she would change her expression.

"It's rare that you have such perseverance!" Mother Zhu praised.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, He Yuzhu secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

"That's right. He plays the erhu very well. Even Director Gao of the Railway Art Troupe wants to poach him!" Zhu Lin said proudly.

My wife is so awesome, He Yuzhu silently gives her a thumbs up!

"is it?"

Everyone became more and more curious about He Yuzhu.

"Haha, the erhu is actually very simple!" He Yuzhu laughed, "With my level, I can listen to seven passages in one minute at the entrance of our alley. It's really nothing!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's attempt to sabotage her, Zhu Lin immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "What about Go? Don't you think you can play Go at the seventh level right here at the entrance of the alley?"

"You silly girl, which side are you from?" Mother Zhu rolled her eyes at her.

"Haha, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already turning your elbow outward!" Uncle Xu joked.

Zhu Lin stuck out her tongue, so cute.

"I've never heard of a cook who can play Go. I've broadened my horizons today!" Uncle Gao was also impressed.

"In fact, Go and Gobang are similar, the difference is the rules. Once you understand the rules, it will be much easier to learn!"

He Yuzhu did not dare to be arrogant. After all, everyone has different talents. Just like some people like to play cards, but some people can never learn it.

No one here knows how to play Go, but that doesn’t stop them from playing it, because Go is the quintessence of our national culture!

"I'll ask you for advice when I get a chance!"

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold!" Mother Zhu called.

After a conversation, Mother Zhu was quite satisfied with He Yuzhu. He not only values ​​feelings, but also has a clear understanding of life, which is very important. If it were a kid, she would not feel comfortable entrusting her daughter to him!

What's more important is that He Yuzhu is also a chef, can cook, and loves Wenqu. So after his daughter gets married, not only will she have no worries about food and drink, but the two of them can also chat together, which is great!

Looking at Mother Zhu's amiable smile, He Yuzhu knew that he had passed this hurdle and was very happy.

At this time, Zhu Lin quietly introduced to him that this uncle surnamed Gao was called Gao Zhanguo, and he was also a professor at the University of Science and Technology. Like Zhu's father, he was in the Department of Physics!

As for the uncle with the surname Xu, he is even more amazing. His name is Xu Duanyi, and he is now a professor at Tsinghua University. He seems to be in charge of an important research and development project. The purpose of his coming here today is that he encountered a difficulty. Thinking of our old friend for many years, he came here to discuss it. After all, Zhu's father had also participated in it before.

"The preliminary adjustments have been completed. First of all, our thinking is correct. The method of directly etching integrated circuits on semiconductor wafers is worth exploring. I have already reported to the Ministry and clarified the theoretical explanation of the automatic alignment step-by-step projection lithography machine. The next step is—"

"Photolithography machine!" He Yuzhu exclaimed.
